Warlords of Draenor Modelviewer: Images and Video of New Character Models

Updated character models are a much-anticipated feature in Warlords of Draenor. Our Warlords of Draenor Modelviewer now shows many of these new models, so we put together some previews to show you how detailed the new emotes and animations are!

To view the new models on Wowhead, simply select the "Warlords" option that's present on the wod.wowhead.com modelviewer and then select an animation on the lower right side. You can access the modelviewer on nearly every page--items, transmog sets, and itemsets to name a few. Currently the modelviewer supports Gnomes, Dwarves, Orcs, and Male tauren.

You can even dress up a character in custom armor by using our Item Comparison tool to add items and then clicking on the caret at the top left and selecting the "View in 3D" button.

It could just be the modelviewer, but some of the character animations don't seem to be all there. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing facial expressions, particularly for dancing.

On another note, Wowhead actually using its Youtube channel gg.

Its moderately frustrating that there's multiple clickable links that would seem to point to the modelviewer, but they just post to news about it.

It took me a bit of time to realize that the only way to view the Modelviewer is by previewing items. I know it is sort of called out in this post, but I thought it would be worth mentioning that maybe there should just be a modelviewer button on the Tools dropdown.

The modelviewer has always been this way--integrated into the site instead of a stand-alone tool due to the endless variations and thousands of models it can load. It might be overwhelming to users to select between so many options from scratch. However, the modelviewer has gotten some increased attention with the character revamp so we're planning on writing a tutorial post explaining the ins and outs.

I also added some links to viewable models (the images with tons of emotes, not the comparison ones)--if you click on the images, they'll open up the viewer. Yesterday's post has all the images pointing to models as well.

When I opened up the model viewer, it still shows the old models even when I've switched it to Warlords.

This is a cache issue, if it persists for some time, email as it may be a more serious issue. When the new models went live last night, they didn't work in my usual browser, but now they work fine.

Tauren shoulders look much better now, orcs still out of out place; should be slightly reduced in size or something.

Now that I think about it, it's probably the orc's shoulders that are out of whack, looks like they're flipped or something.

Just noticed that Gnomes have 5 toes but only 4 fingers... The Orcs and Dwarves match: 5 and 5.

I do hope the bra doesn't show on the high res model even on high settings. Kind of ruins some skimpy sets I have for my sham. Looking pretty awesome otherwise though! Loving the set the female orc is wearing, I hope it's mail armor!

Loving these changes, I am so excited I don't know what to do with myself! I believe these changes might make me play races that I never would have in the past.. Orcs for sure.

Is it just me or do the female orcs look really pretty now?

Love all new models! I can't even imagine what they'll do with blood elves and male humans... =)

Gnomes are even sassier than before.

There are pretty ones now but the new orcs just look so refined.

Finally! Old and new on the female dwarves. But sadly, there seems a broken nexus. They no longer look earthen, they just look like stouter and taller new gnomes. They even kinda look stringy around the neck, like a human male! I kind of liked them looking a little like Igoo from The Herculoids. I think they need to look on the rocky side. I hope they aren't going to keep the fleshiness.

For some reason the model viewer only displays the old models for me. Even from the direct links.
